Netflix has Arrested Development reunited for a Season 5

Almost four years after an experimental fourth-season reunion of Arrested Development launched on Netflix, the streaming platform has announced it’ll get the gang back together for a fifth season to come in 2018.

“In talks with Netflix we all felt that that stories about a narcissistic, erratically behaving family in the building business — and their desperate abuses of power — are really underrepresented on TV these days,” creator Mitch Hurwitz said. “I am so grateful to them and to 20th TV for making this dream of mine come true in bringing the Bluths, George Sr., Lucille and the kids; Michael, Ivanka, Don Jr., Eric, George-Michael, and who am I forgetting, oh Tiffany. Did I say Tiffany? — back to the glorious stream of life.”

Arrested Development debuted on TV in 2004 on FOX, running initially for three season as the Bluth family ran circles around each other. The cast includes Jason Bateman, Michael Cera, Jeffrey Tambor, Jessica Walter, Will Arnett, Tony Hale, Portia de Rossi, David Cross and Alia Shawkat.
